LEO Encounter Traffic accident

I got invited to go see the Hangover 2 tonight and decided to ride my Bike Honda 750,I was riding on a 3 lane frontage road by 83 highway in the lane nearest to the Highway when a Cadillac came out of a Strip Mall Parking lot and instead of turning into the nearest lane as required by law he decided to come into my lane,he never saw me and as he came out I hit the brakes and honked,he stopped with just enough room for my bike to squeak by,but not my saddle bag which was torn off.
Mission Tx Police showed up after calling them and I handed over my DL CHL and proof of Insurance,Officer never said anything about my gun and he said are you ok,I said yes I never went down,he said your lucky,I said I'm gonna buy a lottery ticket.
Great LEO interaction,and the guy that hit me never knew I was packing even tho we were within 8 feet of each other

It sounds like the officer did ok and you were lucky. Was the other driver cited?

That's the bad thing about riding a motorcycle or bicycle -- if you ride long enough, a car or truck will crash into you. I saw a guy who had dumped his motorcycle lying in the middle of a country road, about a month ago. He might've been dead from taking the turn too fast. I pulled over and a fire truck had already been called.

No citations were issued,Usually an LEO won't issue a citation for an offense that wasn't committed in their presence,or unless the accident scene proves a violation,both vehicles had been moved at the time of LEO's arrival,I wasn't gonna sit in a lane of traffic and get rear ended.I will file a claim for replacing my saddlebags,they were only about 3 months old

Glad to hear it was only a graze and that you are OK. It seems bikes getting hit by cars has risen to epidemic levels around here. Silly drivers on cell phones are a big part of that increase.

I think the laws on cellphone use and texting are too loose. Anyone caught driving while using a cellphone or texting should face a mandatory minimum $250.00 fine for 1st offense, and increasing after that. A mandatory drivers improvement school should also be required as part of the sentence.

My dads friend was riding and the car in front of him stopped short and he ran smack into the rear of the car flipping him off bike over the car landing in front of the car. The driver not knowing what happened behind him pulled forward and drove over my fathers friend. Bump Bump. So dads friend is back behind the rear bumper were he started.
